Page 47 – Hello Again
Remember the Sheriff from page 14? What is he up to now? It appears “Lewis” (a name Jane just made up) can’t quite decide who’s the lesser of two evils here: crazy white girl or the po-po.
I was recently interviewed by the local newspaper about this comic, if you’re curious.
Original Script
JANE I am no dissident! My mother works for the palace. If you don’t let me pass you’ll be out of employment tomorrow. SHERIFF Steps forward and motions the guard to stand down. Hello again, little falling angel. Should you not be in school, Miss Webb? JANE Um, yeah. Well, we better get to class. Right, uh… Lewis? Come on! Drags the boy past the armed guards. OFFICER (2nd in command) Sir, is that not the— The Sheriff silences her.
Saved by the bell-shaped helmet guy!
Looks like the Sheriff has some suspicions of his own. And why not? What is the daughter of a palace employee doing with violent evil anarchist democracy supporters?
Nice save, “Lewis.” In situations like this, it’s best to trust the crazy white girl. At least she’s not armed.
I’ve started calling them chrome domes. The fancy helms are worn by the higher trained SWAT-like police units, as opposed to the beat cops, who get plain old hats. Or, the … (spoilers) airborne units. 🙂
Never trust a politician, especially a friendly one. Mr. Sheriff seems to be playing a deeper game than his buffoonish demeanor would suggest.
Yeah. “Is she not the one we–”
We what? We want? We were sent to fetch? We were sent to assassinate? We were sent to protect and serve?
We should dress like? We should give kittens to?
I vote for kittens.
Aw… He looks so disappointed he didn’t get to thump some dissident skulls.
He’ll get his chance. There’s a lot of dissidents still out there protesting.
and so we see that the police are scandalously soft on truants.
The city has a “three skips and you’re executed” truancy program, so it all works out. (joking)
I am going to laugh so, so hard if his name actually turned out to be Lewis.
Gah! I really want to share spoilers. Must. Resist. 🙁
I bet you will Mela…
But nothing has been set yet, and Jane came up with the name on the spot…
It looks like the Sheriff is shushing the audience on the last panel, as well as Mr. Lewis L. Lewisson.
Hush! No speaking during the comic.
Finally all caught up on I, Mummy and Eager for more!
Yay! Thank you for reading. New page coming at ya in a few hours.
